I fixed the problem due to systemtap. Now I'm getting stuck with the following error message: ./gcc-4.8.0/libgcc/../gcc -I../../../../gcc-4.8.0/libgcc/../include -I../../../../gcc-4.8.0/libgcc/config/libbid -DENABLE_DECIMAL_BID_FORMAT -DHAVE_CC_TLS -DUSE_TLS -o morestack.o -MT morestack.o -MD -MP -MF morestack.dep -c -xassembler-with-cpp -include morestack.vis ../../../../gcc-4.8.0/libgcc/config/i386/morestack.S ./morestack.vis: Assembler messages: ./morestack.vis:1: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `:' ./morestack.vis:2: Error: Missing symbol name in directive ./morestack.vis:2: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `|' make[5]: *** [morestack.o] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/sw-build/gcc-4.8.0-build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/32/libgcc' make[4]: *** [multi-do] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/sw-build/gcc-4.8.0-build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libgcc' make[3]: *** [all-multi] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/sw-build/gcc-4.8.0-build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libgcc' make[2]: *** [all-stage1-target-libgcc] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/sw-build/gcc-4.8.0-build' make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/sw-build/gcc-4.8.0-build' make: *** [all] Error 2 >From the mail archives, I see that this might be caused due to nm / awk. I have nm(elfutils) 0.155 and awk 4.0.2 - and I'm still seeing the problem. Anyone else faced the same problem?
